INTER AGENCY SHELTER CLUSTER ASSESSMENTS I – Introduction II – Case Study #1 III - Case Study #2
REACH Introduction Most clusters (including shelter) used to inform sectoral planning without a capacity to effectively collect, analyze and use key information. Such information gaps were (and are) a major shortcoming in the Humanitarian Reform, directly impacting humanitarian effectiveness The shortcomings were mainly due to 2 reasons : Lack of capacity (human, tools and methodology) in clusters Interagency information collection not a priority for operational agencies (notably NGOs)
REACH UK Shelter Forum – February 2013 REACH through its partnership with the Global Shelter Cluster, and with the support of DG ECHO, contribute to the above gaps: Provision of dedicated resources to facilitate interagency data collection and analysis as a cluster. Availability of resources promote the engagement of other agencies Promote the cluster’s capacity to develop data gathering and analysis tools and capitalize on lessons learnt of deployments The first deployment of REACH was in the summer 2010 in Kyrgzystan, in partnership with the UNHCR-led shelter cluster. Following the success of the Kgz intervention, it was decided to replicate and expand the partnership with the GSC . ECHO provided the first institutionbal funding to facilitate this.
